About Emilio Estevez in brief
Emilio Estévez is an American actor, film director, screenwriter and producer. He is the brother of actor Charlie Sheen and son of actor Martin Sheen. Estevez started his career as an actor and is known for being a member of the acting Brat Pack of the 1980s, appearing in The Breakfast Club, St. Elmo’s Fire, and The Outsiders. He also appeared in Repo Man, The Mighty Ducks and its sequels, Stakeout and Another Stake out, Maximum Overdrive, Bobby and Young Guns II. He bought the movie rights to a third S. E. Hinton book, That Was Then and This Is Now, and wrote the screenplay for the third book, This Is Then and Now. His father is adevout Catholic and his mother is a strict Southern Baptist. His paternal grandparents were Irish and Spanish immigrants. Unlike his brother Charlie, he and his other siblings did not adopt their father’s stage name. He was proud of his Spanish heritage and was glad that he never adopted a stage name, taking advice from his father who regretted adopting the name Martin Sheen as opposed to using his birth name, Ramón Esteevez.
He refused to go to college and instead went into acting. His first role was in a drama produced by the Catholic Paulist order. He made his stage debut with his father in Mister Roberts at Burt Reynolds’ dinner theater in Jupiter, Florida. He has appeared in NBC-TV’s thrillers Nightmares and Tex, the 1982 film version of another S. E. Hinton story. He starred in the cult film Maddox, which was delayed for two years after he was forced to drop out to be Chris Taylor in Private Platoon. He had a role as an extra in Apocalypse Now, but his scenes were deleted. After the success of these back-to-back films, he starred in That Was then and This Was Then, the horror film This Is then, the crime drama Wisdom, and the film Maximum overdrive. He played Two-Bit Mathews, a laid-back guy who has an interest in Mickey Mouse, shown by his uniform of Mickey Mouse T-shirts.
